Of course, Brussels sprouts don’t really need anything. They are so horribly delicious in themselves. Anyway, sometimes you want to give them something extra festive. And that’s what we do here.
I really wanted to find sauerkraut a nice place in Christmas dinner. But in a way that everyone would like it. If you know what I mean. I came up with this risotto with caraway seeds – of course that matches well with sauerkraut anyway. And I fried the sauerkraut. It’s a great find. All the goodness of sauerkraut remains, and the worst of the acidity is gone. To make it even more festive and special, I asked our Bart from ice cream parlor Hygge if he wanted to make mustard ice cream. With mustard seeds. And it did. A mini scoop of ice cream on top was the surprise of the day. And delicious. Of course, you can also add mustard to the risotto.
